I have been using cheap vegetable oil for years with good results. I am in
fresh water.

I remember reading on one of the cruising forums to use Baby Oil.
Tried that, and now my Skipper really feels like the rubber in the pump is
galling. (plus, yes, it probably puts a coating in the holding tank) I
went back to the Thetford lubricant, and it works good after that, but It
doesn't last long.
Think I am going to have to rebuild the seals, maybe I will stick to the
thetford stuff after that. I get it at the RV store, cheaper.
Regards,
Bill Coleman

I used to use olive oil, but my feeling now is that would leave a film on
top of the liquid in the holding tank, preventing air from getting at it,
which would result on a foul odor.
Perhaps one of the dedicated head lubes would be the ticket.

So, how is the Jabsco head lubricated? Just toss Crisco in the bowl and
flush? Mine was out of use for a while and appears to work, but squeaks a
bit and feels stiff.
